If you have an axa topaz fuel card you get additional 4 cent off a litre.

I do! Kylemore Road and the Circle K on the Kimmage Road are my friends.

Only 4 cent in the difference between both fuels, it's normally around 10 cents iirc.

Is diesel getting more expensive or petrol getting cheaper?

Circle K blessington rd tallaght and applegreen jobstown 1.239 30/12/18
Edit thats for diesel

1,22.9 in small applegreen in ballsbrisge near Burlington.

D4 Fuels? Don't think that's an Applegreen-group one. Also it (at least used to) only sells diesel doesn't it?

That's what it's looked like to me man's been all over the country in past week and never seen such a variation in prices before

I got done paying 142.9 for unleaded in an Inver a few days back only to drive 3km up the road and see it for 130.9 in a Maxol. Was annoyed but at least I was only filling 10 litres into a motorbike, if it was 60L into a car I would have been rightly pissed off. But yeah, variation in prices is crazy between some stations right now, I've seen 1.31, 1.38 and 1.43 all within a few kilometres of each other.

A lot of price difference around the country at the moment and it pays to Shop around..

One question if anyone can help me is there a difference between Circle K fuel to other companies ? i.e Applegreen is it better ?

All the fuel comes from the same refinery or boat, but plenty of people think that one brand is better than the other! Once you avoid no name no brand stations then you will get the same fuel.

But certain brands do add their own additives?

Although what difference they make is open to debate. The motors section as you know if full of people's experiences between brands and probably most of it is in their head. Extra mileage, better acceleration, mileage etc.

I know additives were also a rumor in the motors section for a while as people questioned where/when the additives get added but given that Circle K now do their Miles and Miles plus. Miles plus they claim is a higher concentrate of the additives they must be added in some in some form.

The miles plus is what I use I paid €1.349 on New Year’s Eve in cork so the price is dropping slowly
Friend of mine is a van driver and he uses the miles plus and he’s now filling up 3 times a week where as before he was filling four times and he does the same route every week so there must be something added to the circle k stuff at some point

That would mean he's getting 33% better MPG though, which sounds incredible.

Anyone know if there is a functioning alternative to pumps.ie?

Unless the station is on a route you usually take you won't save much by driving to a cheaper station. Buy the lowest price fuel on your regular routes to save.

There's a crazy difference between Cork and Dublin, diesel still 1.29 to 1.32 here whereas naas Road is 1.23 to 1.25

1.22 in Topaz Merrion tonight and 5 mins up the road its 1.28 in Topaz Goatstown. Difference is crazy for prices in such close proximity from same chain of petrol stations.

Noticed huge price differences in Applegreen stations over the weekend - €1.26 a litre for petrol in Mount Merrion, €1.30 on Rochestown Ave and €1.37 in Lusk.

I'm equi- distant to a few stations you see so this would determine my route

lol
Del2005 not thinking. what happens if you pass the cheapest..... pumps is a good app to plan when to stop or which route to take.

I'm seeing over 15c difference in prices at the moment so filling up could mean the best part of a tenner in my pocket

Swords Circle K on the main Street. Diesel 123.9 petrol 129.9

The discrepancies can be because of the petrol station takes a delivery at a certain price, they won't change their prices until they get a new delivery in. Unless the prices go up that is!

That would make sense for some i guess. But when all the stations in one area have a high price compared to other parts of the country it looks like price fixing.
Or maybe ALL the Dublin stations got recent deliveries and NONE of, say, the Cork ones did....

Applegren Stillorgan tonight
120.5 Diesel & 124.5 petrol.

Another 1 cent knocked off tonight by Applegreen Stillorgan €119.5 Diesel and €123.5 for petrol.
If this keeps going at this rate, it will be free on Valentines Day!

Doubtful, as I think Brent crude has touched back up to near $60 barrel from a recent low of about $50

Circle K in Donnybrook (traditionally one of the dearer ones that I regularly pass) has been 124.5 for petrol for the last few days. I thought I was seeing things at first!


The variation in Circle K prices alone (I have a Topaz card so always go there) is crazy lately.

K Circle across from Applegreen on Stillorgan Dual Carraigeway has matched their prices at €119.5 and €123.5.
